Reply to "Too Many Races?"

jimgerweckMember

Pete, thankfully there are still "old school" races in existence. We have a series here in SW CT, entering its 51st year this summer, that would be your cup of tea. 10 races, all non-standard (but certified) distances, progressively longer each week. Second oldest races in the state. Still scored by handing tongue depressors to the the finishers, with someone reading times from a stopwatch and another person writing them down. You should see the reaction from entrants who have only run "new age"," chip-timed mega races the first time they run. Some of the dinosaurs have survived.
And don't even get me started on Muddy Buddy or Color Runs!
